Viewing one page without having to be forms authenticated (the registration page case)

Q.  How do I remove an individual page from having to be forms authenticated to view it?  I don't want to reorganize my site to have a wide open directory containing only one page.  I just want this one page accessible.  It is a registration page for new users.

A.  Having run into this myself and seen it asked multiple times on discussion aliases.  I thought I would blog the solution I used.  Answer is to drop something like this into the configuration node of your web.config.

<location path="register.aspx">

<system.web>

<authorization>

<allow users="*" />

</authorization>

</system.web>

</location>
